Hello all,

I am wanting to host my PiHole on an AWS EC2 instance as I am fully moving my on-prem infrastructure out.

I have PiHole installed on an Ubuntu instance and it is working, but I would like to add an SSL cert so I can log into the admin interface using HTTPS.

I’ve tried following instructions on both of these sites;

• Add LetsEncrypt SSL certificate to Pi-hole • NetWeaver
• Enabling HTTPS for your Pi-hole Web Interface - FAQs / Community How-to’s - Pi-hole Userspace

However, steps on neither site work, if I try to connect to the gui using HTTPS, it stops and says it cannot connect.

I had a DNS outage last night (using AdGuard) and my kids almost rioted without their precious internet. I’d really like to get this up and running so I can be a bit more-self reliant.

Anyone have any ideas?
